The 330 JG is a seriously cool instrument – that Rickenbacker vibe, but in a thinner, more manageable package. That Caribbean rosewood fretboard is a real treat, and the pickups deliver a snarling, vintage-inspired tone that cuts through the mix. It's a premium-priced option that’s perfect for players seeking a unique voice and a distinctive look.

Frequently Asked Questions
Caribbean rosewood tends to be slightly softer and smoother than typical rosewood, offering a warmer, more tactile playing experience – a bit less 'grabby' than ebony.
Yes, the 629 mm scale results in lower string tension, which can make bending easier but might require a slight adjustment to your playing technique.
These hi-gain single coils are voiced for a more aggressive, punchy tone than the more scooped, chimey pickups found on some other Rickenbacker models, leaning towards a more classic rock vibe.
